Sealed Wax & Hobby Boxes Card Shops

1,730 listings are classified for sealed wax — hobby boxes, blasters, retail product and case breaks — across 1,257 cities and all 50 states. 1,686 are independent shops and 44 are chain locations.

This is the narrowest of the three sports-side tags, and the reason is structural rather than editorial. The directory assigns the sealed-wax tag to businesses filed under Sports, but not to those filed under both sports and trading card games, and not to TCG shops at all. So a game store that sells nothing but sealed Pokemon product will not appear here, while a sports-card shop that only deals in singles will. 12 of the listings on this page additionally match a name rule for words like "sealed", "wax", "hobby box" and "case break" — those are the ones that put it in writing themselves.

Treat the page as a starting list of sports-card businesses, then check the shop. Whether a given store has a current-year hobby box on the shelf on a given Tuesday is not something any field in this dataset records, and box availability moves faster than a directory refresh.

By volume the tag concentrates in California (165), Florida (135), Texas (108), New York (102), and Pennsylvania (92), and at city level in Las Vegas, Nevada (10), New York, New York (9), El Paso, Texas (8), and Jacksonville, Florida (8). Across the set, 1,556 carry a phone number, 1,276 post hours, and 962 link to a website, and 1,353 listings carry a Google rating. Related: modern sports and vintage sports.
